Sodium Cyclamate (E952) High-Intensity Sweetener

Key characteristics

• High-intensity sweetener: approximately 30–50 times sweeter than sucrose, depending on application.
• Non-caloric: contributes negligible energy at typical use levels.
• Good process stability: suitable for many pasteurised, UHT and shelf-stable products.
• Synergistic behaviour: often used in blends with sodium saccharin (classical cyclamate–saccharin systems) and other sweeteners.
• Cost-effective: widely used where cost-per-sweetness unit is a critical factor.

Indicative specification points

Atlas adapts specifications to your internal quality requirements and local regulations. Typical commercial parameters include:

• Appearance: white crystalline powder or granules.
• Assay: sodium cyclamate content in line with recognised food additive standards for E952.
• Defined limits for cyclohexylamine and related impurities, in line with legal and quality requirements.
• Controlled heavy metals and contaminants suitable for food and beverage use.
• Microbiological criteria aligned with high-intensity sweeteners and beverage ingredients.

Specification sheets, COAs and analytical methods can be harmonised with your systems during supplier approval and first deliveries.

Beverages & drinks

• Carbonated soft drinks and still beverages, typically in blends with saccharin and other sweeteners.
• Powdered beverage mixes and syrups for retail, foodservice and vending.
• Flavoured waters, nectars and juice drinks where sugar reduction or sugar replacement is required.

Tabletop & sweetener blends

• Tabletop sweetener tablets, sachets and powders formulated with cyclamate–saccharin blends.
• Multi-sweetener systems used by brand owners for private-label tabletop products.

Processed foods & other uses

• Processed foods and desserts where cyclamate contributes background sweetness in a blend.
• Selected dairy and bakery products in markets where E952 is allowed in these categories.
• Other food applications where regulatory frameworks support the use of sodium cyclamate in defined dosage ranges.

Formulation guidance

• Combine sodium cyclamate with sodium saccharin or other high-intensity sweeteners to optimise taste and reduce aftertaste.
• Consider sweetener ratios (e.g. classical cyclamate–saccharin blend concepts) based on sensory panel feedback.
• Review local regulations and maximum permitted levels for E952 in each target product category and market.
• Coordinate with flavour, acidulant and bulking systems to build a coherent sweetness profile and texture.

Quality & regulatory documentation

• Supplied according to relevant E952 food additive standards in markets where cyclamate is permitted.
• Complete specification and COA for each batch, aligned with customer expectations.
• Supporting documents on GMO status, allergens, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbiology and impurity profile available on request.
• Certificates such as Halal, Kosher and ISO available when provided by the producing factory.
• Customers remain responsible for final label approval and legal compliance in each market; Atlas provides transparent, traceable data to support this work.

Packaging, storage & logistics

• Standard packaging: 25 kg bags, cartons or drums, depending on producer and project.
• Alternative pack sizes and palletisation schemes can be evaluated for high-volume or multi-country programs.
• Store in a cool, dry environment, away from sunlight and strong odours.
• Shipments managed under FOB, CFR, CIF or other agreed Incoterms with full export documentation support.
